Chapter 222: Post-War Ascension
The pale blue fluorescent band forms a shield that blocks out the light and heat from the outside world.
Roy raised his head, looked at the suspended Tonine, and couldn't help but ask, "Your state?" ”
"Don't worry about me." Tonine's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, calm and mechanical: "It's just a rejection of the useless flesh of the past." ”
After that, she looked at Latiyi: "Ms. Latiyi, after the five-second countdown, I will detonate the core of the Thunder Death God to form an outward hedge wave, according to the calculation of the brain, in this case, your spatial ability has a 30% chance of opening the channel of remote teleportation." ”
"Time is of the essence, I don't know much about space, everything is up to you."
Toninne's way of making the voice of the soul quickly reach the ears of Roy, Lathie, and Céhir.
Then, she began the countdown.
“5、4……”
“1!”
"Boom!"
The intense light and heat deprived Roy of all perception of the outside world, but at this moment, he clearly felt that an explosion with a power slightly inferior to that of the previous "scorching sun" exploded.
The strong light and heat that burst from the inside to the outside produced a strong annihilation phenomenon with the remnants of the surrounding "scorching sun", and through the shock wave generated by the explosion, a "quiet zone" with a radius of kilometers was formed.
Lattiyi's eyes were closed, blood flowing from the corners of her eyes, mouth, nose, ears, etc., and perceiving and manipulating space in such an environment was equivalent to putting her soul on the flames to burn, but in such a severe pain, her complexion did not change in the slightest.
Now she has only one thought in her mind - no matter what, she must take everyone out of here!
In the second second of the outburst, Latiyi opened her eyes violently, and the silver brilliance of her bloodshot eyes flashed: "Go!" ”
She grabbed Roy with her left hand, and grabbed Tonine in her energy form with her right hand, but she passed through directly and couldn't touch it.
Lattire's face was anxious, and at this moment, Tonine turned into a pale blue stream of data, merging into the Starfire Blade on Roy's waist.
Seeing this, Latiyi's eyes relaxed, and immediately, the dazzling silver light enveloped the bodies of several people, and escaped into the unfolded ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation door.
And in the next second that several people disappeared, a new round of fission and explosion was produced by the light and heat that devoured each other, and a huge mushroom cloud rose again in the sky above the ruined land.
……
On the edge of a beach near the sea.
The space was violently distorted, and in the silver light, there was also a red-gold light, which was extremely dazzling.
Roy, Latiyi, and Cehir fall from the space portal.
And at the moment when he landed, Latiyi, who gritted his teeth and held on to the present, rolled his eyelids and passed out directly.
Roy landed steadily on the ground, stretched out his hands, and hugged the unconscious Latiyi.
Looking at her bloodless pale face, Roy's eyes flashed with distress.
Summoned the few energies in her body and transformed them into relatively mild healing energy to heal Latiyi's injuries, until a trace of blood appeared on her face and her breathing was relatively calm, and Roy breathed a sigh of relief.
After checking the situation of Céhir in her pocket, she found that Roy, who had only fallen asleep temporarily due to overconsumption, put her mind at ease, and then set her eyes on the Starfire Blade on her waist.
"Tonine, you, are you alright?"
He asked nervously, for fear of getting no response.
"I'm here, Lord Roy."
The girl's mechanical and undulating voice sounded, and light blue light and shadow shaped like a stream of data flew out of the Starfire Blade, converging into the girl's complete human form.
"Hoo ......"
After confirming that none of the three daughters were in danger of life, Roy was completely relieved.
And this relaxation made him almost unconscious, whose nerves were as tense as the bowstring of the full moon.
Gritting his teeth, it took a few seconds for Roy to regain his strength.
After looking around, he looked puzzled: "Here, where is it?" ”
"Based on information such as climate and vegetation, this place should be the eastern coastal area of the Glow Empire." Seeing Roy's doubts, Tonigne said.
"East Coast......" Roy nodded.
Although it is not to return to the Blackstone Domain, with such a harsh space environment, it is already a lucky thing to be able to teleport back to the territory of the Radiant Empire.
"Anyway, let's find a place to rest."
Roy Road.
The girl in the form of light blue light and shadow did not speak, but silently suspended in mid-air, following Roy.
On the edge of the coastal beach, there is a fishing village, but Roy did not go to live temporarily, firstly, for fear that the whereabouts of himself and others would be exposed, and secondly, for fear of implicating these innocent fishermen.
You know, the threat of the temple is still there, although it has now become an existence that everyone shouts at in the realm of glow, but after hundreds of years of sedimentation, who knows that the person who spits on the temple with you on the surface will not be the godly disciples and eyes and ears of the temple behind the scenes?
Finding a remote mountain cliff, Roy flew into the air, and at a distance of dozens of meters above the ground, he used the Starfire Blade to cut out a stone cave that was enough for the three of them to rest.
After cutting a few stone slabs to serve as an improvised bed, Roy carefully placed Latiyi in his arms on it, and put Cehir's doll on her own small stone bed, while he himself came to the door of the cave, leaning against the cold stone wall, acting as a guardian.
While absorbing the remnants of the Blood Soul Essence from Lead Researcher Mono (it takes an exceptionally long time for the demigod's Blood Soul Essence to absorb), he looked at the girl who was quietly suspended in mid-air, and said worriedly:
"Tonnye, without a body, what are you going to do next?"
"Please don't worry about me, Lord Roy." Toninne shook her head, and in her energy form, she presented a translucent and illusory feeling.
Her hands hung down at her sides, and her hair floated gently: "I'm in a unique state right now. ”
"As long as it's metal, I can possess it."
"When it's safe to do so, I can rebuild a metal body with enough metal."
"Thanks to this experience, if there are enough metal materials, I can even rub a simple version of the body of the Thunder Death God by hand."
Hearing the last sentence, Roy suddenly became interested: "Mechanical gods? But without the 'God's Heart', would you be able to control such a huge body? ”
"The existence of the heart of God is a symbol of the person of the gods, and this is the knowledge that I have understood spontaneously in my mind as the center of control." Tonine shook her head: "The simple version of the body I rubbed by hand is naturally impossible to reach that height, but it shouldn't be difficult to have the combat power of the demigod level." ”
"That's right." Roy sighed.
This should be one of the few pieces of good news.
"You're also tired, take a good rest, now that the conditions are poor, you can go to the Starfire Blade first."
Tonigne nodded, not refusing.
Although she remained sober, she was actually in a very bad state.
As the control center of the God of Thunder and Death, the Pope of the Temple forcibly stripped her of the Heart of God, which brought her strong trauma, and in order to protect the safety of Roy and the others, she opened the protective shield against the light and heat of the "Burning Sun" and detonated the God of Thunder and damaged her body, which made her already poor state even worse.
The translucent and almost illusory body is a testament to her extreme weakness.
Turning into a pale blue light, it flowed into the Starfire Blade, and soon Tonine fell into a deep sleep.
Roy leaned against the stone wall, the cold stone irritating his skin and easing his sleepy spirit.
He turned his head to look at the rough sea below the grotto, lost in thought.
Although they succeeded in rescuing Tonigne during their trip to the Kolai Empire, they also paid a huge price.
Almost all of them were seriously injured, and Tonigne lost her body.
Looking back on what I have experienced on this trip.
Several doubts suddenly appeared in Roy's mind.
First of all, it is the so-called "life crystal".
Lead Researcher Mono said a lot of things, but the most crucial information was only one point, that is, the "life crystal" is composed of the life force and soul power of thousands of living beings.
Although this name Roy is the first time he has heard it, he really can't talk about "unfamiliarity" with this thing.
Above the life crystal, he felt a trace of the power of the mutant abyss, combining the life force and soul power of thousands of living beings...... Then the origin of this thing is about to be revealed.
Last winter, the Monster Plague swept through the Radiant Realm, killing countless poor people.
Roy doesn't know the exact number of deaths, but the huge empire combined, tens of millions must be there, or even hundreds of millions, it is not impossible. After all, except for the province of Rafah, the disaster of the Warcraft in the rest of the provinces has not been contained in advance, which can be called terrifying.
Previously, Roy was still wondering what the purpose of the people behind all this was directed, but now, the appearance of "Life Crystal" revealed part of the answer for him.
The power of countless ordinary people's mixed creatures and souls are gathered together, and through special methods, they can be sublimated into "life crystals", which can make creatures under demigods break through their own shackles and reach a new realm.
Although it is not clear whether there will be any sequelae for the creatures promoted by the "Life Crystal", it is foreseeable that there must still be Life Crystal in the hands of the Temple Pope.
Yes, the Temple Pope.
At the last moment, the appearance of the Pope of the Temple directly revealed the identity of the person behind him, and also revealed that he cooperated with the high-level of the Kolai Empire and participated in the mechanical god project.
Otherwise, the Life Crystal would not have appeared in the hands of Lead Researcher Mono.
Everything seems to be unrelated, like a spreading spider web, but in fact, if you grope along the vein, you can detect the implicit connection.
As for why the Temple Pope wants to cooperate with the Kolai Empire?
The answer is not hard to guess.
The purpose of the last appearance of the Temple Pope was to take away the "God Heart" in the body of the God of Thunder Death, but because of Roy's interference, the struggle for control of Tonine, and the threat of the "Sun" composed of ten "Starfalls", in the end, the Temple Pope did not get what he wanted and obtained a complete God Heart, but only obtained a broken God Heart.
Although from the perspective of personality, the damaged heart of the god is still the true "god person", but its "quality" has fallen to the worst level of the god level.
As for the purpose of the Temple Pope to seize the "Heart of God", Roy also had some speculation.
In fact, when it comes to the level of the Pope of the Temple, there is not much to ask for.
The Pope of the Temple, who had ascended to the realm of demigods a hundred years ago, felt more clearly than anyone else that the barriers of the world were unbreakable.
With manpower alone, no matter how much you practice, it is impossible to break through the realm of demigods and embark on the path of true gods.
And how could a person like the Temple Pope endure being trapped in one realm and finally slowly dying of old age?
Therefore, all the things that the Temple Pope has been doing all along, in the final analysis, has only one purpose, that is, to break through the demigods and embark on the path of the gods.
Roy didn't know exactly what the Temple Pope's methods were, but he thought that it should have something to do with the abyss.
"Hoo ......"
Exhale deeply.
Roy knows.
The Pope of the Temple, who has obtained the "Broken God's Heart", is estimated to be in the near future before his true plan begins.
And when the time comes, where should I go with myself and the witches?
Although the situation is clearer now, the temple is hidden in the shadows, and even if Roy wants to stop it, he doesn't know where to start.
This is the precipitation of the temple for hundreds of years, and the planning of hundreds of years, naturally everything that may happen is included in it.
Sighing, Roy stopped thinking about it and put his mind into his body.
The current situation can only be blocked by soldiers, and the water will be covered.
All he could do was to improve the strength of himself and the witches around him as much as possible before everything happened.
In a full four minutes, counting the first moment in the Mechanical Holy City, a full five minutes, the blood soul essence of Chief Researcher Mono was finally completely absorbed by Roy.
A demigod deserves to be a demigod.
The legendary limit of the blood soul essence, Roy only needs about ten seconds to fully absorb, while the blood soul essence of the demigod takes a long five minutes.
From the perspective of time comparison, we can see the gap between the two.
And with such a long absorption time, the final harvest is naturally very gratifying.
Roy's body was nourished like never before.
According to the demigod's basic physique is 100, before absorbing this Blood Soul Essence, Roy's basic physique is between 11 and 12.
And now, his base physique has reached a terrifying 62!
In other words, a demigod-level Blood Soul Essence increased his physical strength by 50, an increase of nearly five times!
Such an exaggerated increase in physique made Roy a little uncomfortable for a while, for fear that if he was not careful, he would collapse the cliff where he was staying.
A powerful sense of power filled his heart, making him even feel like he could shatter space with brute force alone.
You must know that when his physique is between 11 and 12, with the blessing of various specialties and secret techniques, his physique is enough to be comparable to a demigod who has not used the natural power of heaven and earth.
And now......
Even if he didn't enter the "state of destruction", under the regular amplification, he felt that he seemed to have the ability to wrestle with the demigods?
